68 Episode 42: Reward for Labyrinth Entrance Discovery

"I figured out a lot of ways to stop Cynthia from going wild, but I couldn't think of anything, so I decided to be brave first."

This is the first sound of returning to the Castar mansion with a 'portal'. Oh, I used "portal" because it's troublesome to go back to the entrance, and I don't have the body to use phase transfer stones in one layer.

"Cynthia, it's not wacko."

Cynthia shakes her head to the side and denies it, but in me she's already settled in a no dog position. No, dogs don't go to those who can spoil them, so it's good to be strict.

"If you don't listen to me, you're forcibly deported."

"Cynthia, you can have wacko. Wow."

Looks like you gave up and accepted the wok position. You break fast......

"I am the brave man of the Beast..."

Maria whines in a small voice. Either that or Maria is a loyal dog, right? He's a cat beast...

"So, Cynthia, how can you say," Yes, the door. "

Remove the door of the 'room' from. It's miso to treble the end of the line a little.

"I didn't expect you to come from me..."

"The combination of" Infinite Storage (Inventory) "and" Room "is on boulder..."

Mio and Sakura have a startling look on their face.... Well, I stopped Mio from trying to say extra things before, but I wouldn't have taken care of him if he took the initiative and did extra things.

It's okay, because the door I prepared, the 'room' that wasn't, is shiny black. Because I'm not pink by mistake.

"Forget the joke, I think I'm gonna get Cynthia in this' room '"

"This' room 'is creepy."

"Sort of. So this is what happened when I tried to create a strict atmosphere."

"It's an extra way to use your mind!? Honestly, I'm scared!

I've been afraid of Cynthia since before I came in. No, I'm scared to notice, but I'm pretty sure Chibi Chigi can.

"At least by the end of the day, I want you to remember 'Wait'. Otherwise, the twins will be at work chasing Cynthia out of the sky."

"It's a hassle, isn't it, Karen?"

"It's true, isn't it, Soura?"

"It's disgraceful..."

Usual Cynthia is honest, and she has a relatively dear personality, how come she only runs wild in battle......

Oh, is it easy to get excited because of your skills?

A: No, it's from the beginning.

Oh, yeah...

You mean you originally had the temperament of a battle freak? You mean Maria is a fanatic and Cynthia is a mad warrior... Don't raise expectations of future braves. Expectations?

"So, your husband. What's going on in here? R15?"

"For all ages...... Nothing in particular. I just want to be invisible from the outside."

Answer Mio's question. I don't put anything in the 'room' in particular. I don't even call it a torture room, so I don't put a triangle trojan horse or a steel virgin (Iron Maiden). I didn't put it down.

"I'm alone with a girl in a Chamber where no one else... Ha! What is your husband going to do!?

"So, 'cause... Just make sure you never open it because I think you're in a cage for 3 hours. Absolutely, huh?

"It's unusual for Jen to say it so strongly. And it's a long time."

"It bothers me if they say that! But if you open it, it'll definitely hurt me too!

"You should stop..."

Mio is shaking between curiosity and the punishment from me.

"Mio"

"Yes! I won't peek!

Fear seems to have prevailed when I speak up.

"Well, Cynthia's gone."

"Yes..."

Cynthia headed to the door with a clown. Mio says Donadna in the back. No, because Cynthia's coming home, right?

Three hours later, Cynthia, who came out flustered, collapses on the spot. In the meantime, catch. Cynthia peels her white eyes and is bicumbicum spasmodic.... overdone.

The maids took care of us, and we decided to take the day off.

Just before I went to bed, Mira told me a story.

"You can take me to the village I lived in, until I show you the abandoned village. Apparently, I can't make it to the master for a while."

What do you mean?

"My village, my abandoned village, I'm the only one left with land exploration. Oh, I'm a monster now."

It is a self-inflicted story. Stop it.

"Officials with land exploration. Oh, I just guided them." Yes, goodbye. "Ha, I'm not going."

Well, if you ask me.

In the first place, my house is in a ruined village, so, externally, this is where I should go.

But there's no villagers, is there?

I don't know if there are any people who left the village, but at least those who were in the village at that point are dead except Mira.

"Yeah, but if we don't demolish the house, if we recruit new residents, we won't be able to talk without the people involved anyway. Because of that, I was decided to represent the village."

Is it just a village daughter suddenly representing the village? That's a big birth.... why I'm not happy at all.

You don't like it?

No. I don't know how much I've become a master's squire, but I also have an attachment to the village, and no, because everyone in the village wants to bury you well. Until a paragraph came along. So, I admitted I'd be a representative. For once, we have accepted Alta... "

If that's the reason, I'm not going to say no even to me. In the first place, I was going to allow some free movement because I wanted you to do something about Mira and I didn't subordinate her, subordinate her. Alta would have taken that willingness and put out an OK.

A: That's right.

Okay. So, Mira's been in the village for a while, huh?

"Yes, no. I'm sorry, thank you."

Oh, come on.

Huh?

I hung up on Mira and decided to sleep this time.

The next day, we resumed our exploration from one level of the labyrinth, and we were to see the effect of "quickly."

Shortly after the transfer, a dungeon goblin was spotted a short walk away. Look at that. No, Cynthia's about to attack.

"'Wait'!

"Yes it is!

The moment you hear one of my words, Cynthia takes a 'watch out' stance.

Stop by my side right now and pull your clothes.

"Sir! It's quick! It's quick!

I'm softly restless, and I'm pulling my clothes and rushing them, but at least I fixed setting up a special attack without asking anything. I fixed it.

"Soura, don't forget to work with Karen."

"Yes it is!

I don't feel like an empty reply, but okay. From there on ahead is the challenge ahead.

"Well, 'All right!

"Yes! We're going! Soura, Karen."

"Cynthia, wait!

"Cynthia, calm down!

Cynthia runs out with great momentum. Simply because you have faster legs than the twins. After all, the twins don't seem to make a difference in chasing Cynthia.

Poor Dungeon Goblin was killed instantly by Cynthia and the others who ran out.

"In the meantime, you're a little better"

"Yes, it is. It's growing."

The battle is over, squealing as we progress through the labyrinth. Cynthia says confidently, but I think it's so different that 'terrible negative' turned out to be 'slightly better negative'.

"Master, what have you done to Cynthia..."

"You can't say that out of my mouth. Cynthia, you want me to tell you something?

Cynthia shakes her neck desperately when I say so. If you look closely, your body is shaking too.

"I can't tell you! I can never tell you!

"You shouldn't think too much about what your husband does out of the sight of others."

"Selah, do you remember anything about yourself?

"I can't tell you."

"Shit. I care..."

"Then why don't you come into the Chamber with me next time?

"I don't want to!

Rejected with all my might.

We had a few fights and decided to go down the stairs to the 2nd floor because it seemed fine, the 1st floor ceiling was about 5m up and had Alta check the height on the way down the stairs and it was 15m. This would mean that the floor slab is about 10m. The depth of the labyrinth would be about 750m. Of course, it is possible that the height varies from layer to layer......

The stairs themselves are all over the labyrinth, but the number of stairs seems to decrease as you progress through the layers, needless to say how difficult it is to find the few stairs in a labyrinth with the same area as the country per layer. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why the reach hierarchy does not grow so much.

"So, Cynthia. Which way do you want to go? Which one do you think is right?

"Uh, it's that way."

As soon as they reached the two levels, Cynthia and the others were given the skills of < Labyrinth Adaptation > and all were raised to LV6. For once, if it bothers you, if it's just one person, I can get it up to the LV10 all at once, but I'm stopping here to align my footprints.

In the labyrinth all demons have < Labyrinth Adaptation >, so it's very easy to earn skill points. Skills that many demons possess, such as Labyrinth Adaptation, are treasured because they are very useful when converting to other skills.

"The two of you?

"I think it's that way, Karen"

"I think this way, yeah, Soura"

Allow the three people to stand slightly apart and check the position of the stairs to the next level. Check the direction indicated by the three people on the map, and there was a staircase to the next level just where it intersects in this area.

"This is it..."

At a high level, regular routes and shortest routes in the labyrinth become known. Because the map does not know about the distant hierarchy, we decided that it would be better to follow the Labyrinth Adaptation in terms of the overall direction of travel.

A: Sincerely sorry.

The fact that there is a regular route to it may mean that some hazy routes do not continue to the next layer. But at least I'm making a prediction that a high level of Labyrinth Adaptation will never get caught up in it.

"We shall leave the battle to Cynthia and the others for a while longer. We don't have much to gain when we go to battle. The demonic behavior pattern that emerges here basically seems to conform to the demons that are the basis outside, and we need to be able to be a battle in the labyrinth, but it's too toothless here. It's barren to drop your status until you have a good fight..."

"I got it! I'll take care of it!

I wish I had at least seen demons, but they don't train to varying degrees of color.

Leave the battle to Cynthia and the twins and go on two layers. When it comes to what I do, I'm just gonna give Cynthia a a GO signature.

Repeated combat has also gradually shaped the collaboration between the three. Should I say that the twins are getting used to Cynthia's assault to be exact? Well, Cynthia's potential is high in itself, so a person of this magnitude wouldn't be a problem if he could gain strength while being followed, because by the time the staircase to the third floor approaches, he'll be able to fight more than the same number of opponents steadily.

"Oh, you're a demon I've never seen before. GO!"

"" "Yes (it is)!

Maize Lizard Man

LV5

< Body strengthening LV1 > < Labyrinth adapted LV1 >

Notes: lizards walking on two legs.

Maybe it's a subspecies of the demons out there, but I don't think I've ever seen the original demons.

I don't have a weapon, and I'm not very strong, so three people killed me instantly. Later, I want the naming convention to be uniform whether it's a dungeon or a maize.

Within the labyrinth, the types of demons that come out as the hierarchy goes down gradually change. Looks like Maize Lizard Man is limited to two layers or later. Finally, they say that the interior changes every 10 layers, from 1 to 10 layers being generally an easy labyrinth to imagine, and from 11 to 20 layers being a labyrinth like in the woods. Of course I have a boss before switching interiors. A labyrinth would be natural, wouldn't it?

I was able to break through two layers in the morning and three in the afternoon. What? What happened on the way? If Cynthia's problem has even gotten better, then there's no other big deal. Oh, I'll just mention the demons that came out new.

Maize Bat

LV4

< Flight LV1 > < Blood sucking LV1 > < Labyrinth adaptation LV1 >

Notes: Bats. Depressing because it's flying in the sky.

Lesser Minotaur

LV6

Axe LV2. Labyrinth Adapted LV1

Notes: Small minotaur. When I say labyrinth, here it is! degraded species.

Lesser worm

LV2

Labyrinth Adapted LV1

Notes: Degraded species of dungeon worms. Big mites.

It was also sundown time, so I decided to use the phase transition stone to return near the staircase moving from three to four floors.

The battle was going to turn for a while without us. But all three of us in battle now are avant-garde types. For once Cynthia could use magic, but when I asked, she said she would never use it. Anything, 'cause magic doesn't feel like hitting you', he says. You're a flesh-and-bomb battle freak or something, Magimon.

Cynthia and the others are all going to make us independent as seekers without us. You may add magic personnel from within now on. Right. It's a corner, so it's a good idea to use Elysia's references to look around at the city's slave traders in Lilia. If you're not there, you can bring them in from the maid squad.

When phase transfer stones were used, they were transferred to the entrance used when entering. I can stop the receptionist from trying to leave the building as it is.

"Uh, you're Jen, aren't you?

"Oh, yeah"

"I am keeping a message from Master Ellincia. 'I need to talk to you about the village and the basement,' she said. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, he spends a lot of time in the jar, so if possible, he wants us to visit him in the meantime."

"Okay."

It's only been a few days, so I guess we're not talking about a reward. Well, listen, it won't be a loss, and even before I go to the slave trader tomorrow I'll head there......

"So I'm going to add a magic slave"

I declare that I will return to the Inn. We have everyone in the room for once. Oh, Dora's already asleep.

"zzz"

Cynthia was the first person to react to my line.

"Do you need a wizard? I think we can fight enough…"

"Sure, I'm not in so much trouble at the moment, but considering what happened after you broke up with us, I think we should add about one more magic job from now on."

"We're breaking up!? They can throw it away!?

"Oh my god! Karen!"

"What shall we do! Soura!"

The rookie suddenly starts panicking. How can the slaves mistakenly assume that they will be abandoned when they say 'separate action'?

"No, no, I'm not throwing it away. Breaking up is after we attack the labyrinth."

"... what do you mean?

I decided I wasn't going to be dumped for now, and Cynthia, a little calm, listened back.

"First of all, you know the reason I'm taking you three to the labyrinth is to show you the regular route, right?

Yes, sir.

"Apart from that, after we finish the labyrinth attack, we still have a role to play."

"What role is it?

"I want the three of you, and the four more magic jobs we're going to add, to continue to explore the labyrinth after we attack it."

Clearly, the supplies in the labyrinth are very attractive. Of course, it's not what I really need if I think about it alone. But I have a lot of subordinates, and I plan to keep increasing them. The labyrinth is of considerable value that supplies can be obtained in such a way that they can gain steady combat experience with demons.

"I think if we attack the labyrinth, we'll go on another journey. That's why I want to be able to use the resources of the labyrinth in a stable manner even after we embark on our journey. It will require the subordination of the Seeker."

"Is that us?

"Oh, don't mean you're a core member, precisely because we're going to increase it in the future. That's when I decided I needed a magic job."

Exactly. I'm not going to make the Labyrinth Explorer melee only. Core members also need about one magic position.

"I'm convinced! I don't use magic! We need something else!

"You sound like a wizard, don't you, Karen?"

"You don't have to be specialized, do you, Soura?"

The twins want to use magic, but they don't seem to intend to become magic professionals.

"But Jen, you can't even start with one layer to train a newly put kid, can you?

Maria's right, if I had started with one layer every time I added a member, I wouldn't have gone on forever.

"Right. That's why I'm going to make sure you have a made-up education + combat training. Let them also preview the demons of the labyrinth."

"Preview, is it?

Sakura shakes his neck.

"Oh, let Mr. Tamo eat the demons of the labyrinth and have a mock fight with him changed."

"Tamo, seriously, it's convenient."

"Oh, if you're in trouble for now, you're Tamo."

"My incompetence is spoken in the same line as Tamo..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Sakura......"

Sakura got a little depressed. But it's also true that Mr. Tamo is useful. I don't know as much about common sense as I do about aliens...

"Speaking of which, sir, I don't do any crate hunting or mining on one to three levels. Why is that?

Cynthia has been asking questions where she says it's time to finish the conversation.

Crates can appear abruptly in the labyrinth. Probably a similar reasoning to the outbreak of demons. If you ask Alta, you may understand, but she dares to leave it because it would be impeccable to ask the labyrinth for reason.

A: ….

"So I don't take my job away from the people who make my day off. There's also a reason why you shouldn't spend time in the upper management..."

"Is that what this is about?"

Dive into the labyrinth even at the upper levels to collect items and it will be some gold. That's how runaways and low-strength seekers earn their dimes. If I use the map to collect things of value in that, the low-level adventurers will be unemployed.

If you look at the map, you can see the contents of the crate, but there's nothing big about the stuff you get on the upper level, and clearly, your forefingers don't move.

In the first place, the aim is not to make money, but to trample. It would be a complete waste of time in the upper management.

The next morning, I decided to head over to Elysia's. Only Maria follows, and the other members are free to move.

"I've been waiting for you. Come on, over here."

In the knight's stuffing room, I was greeted by an upbeat Elysia. It would mean that the abandoned village did well.

Enter a well-built room as you are guided.

"This is a reception room for superior customers. They'll be carrying tea soon."

When we sit on the couch, Elysia sits in the seat across the street. After a while, the servant brings tea and puts it in front of us.

Elysia started talking when the waiter returned with a gratuity.

"I didn't call you anything else. We're talking about a prize for the hidden labyrinth."

"Is that it already? That's faster than I thought."

Eryncia smiling at my questions.

"Yeah, I think it's going to take a lot longer if you do some things. But as soon as it happened, I went to the royal family. Of course, I used the dialogue stone because it was urgent. Then, in the meantime, I think there's a team of scholars and merchants from the capital rushing to the abandoned village."

Things seem to be moving bigger than I thought.

"Anyway, that doesn't mean I'm not giving anything to the discoverer in that situation. A meeting was held in great haste and a prize was decided for Jen. As a result, Jen was awarded 50 million gold."

"That's a pretty good forehead."

"Yeah, just when it comes to awarding this amount of reward, you're going to follow quite a few steps in the capital."

Did you hear something that might bother you? That said, the capital cannot be removed from the tourist course, and we have to go. Oh, the name of the capital is Estarca. Just in case.

"Capital... He said it was coming from here."

"It's about 10 days. There will be some things to do, so I'm not saying it's due, but could you head to the capital within three months? Of course, it can be readjusted depending on Jen's convenience, but after 3 months, the process will increase."

"... that's troublesome too. Okay. You've got less than three months."

"This one is also a bummer for a while, so I'm sorry, but I can't offer it to you. For once, we have a letter for you to take with you to the capital."

"Okay."

That's what I say. I punish the letter they give me. It's even more luxurious than the envelope I got before.

"Speaking of which, did the envelope I gave you help?

"Oh, the card was more helpful. The other one, I was just thinking about going now."

"Well, is it? Then may I join you?

Huh? Exactly. It wouldn't be the kind of place to take a woman who isn't even subordinate.

When I look surprised, Elysia denies realizing it.

"Oh, I'm not going to see anywhere else to choose. Just tell the slave traders the first word or two."

Very comforting, and scary, given the word or two influence of Eryncia in this city.

"... ok. Are you ready for this?

"Yeah, yesterday, when I heard Jen was coming today from the receptionist at the labyrinth entrance, I made sure to vacate my plans for today."

I'm sorry.

"No, it's this cheap, given its contribution to the national interest"

Maria, take Elysia to the slave trader. As usual, it singles out the gaze of the city. Elysia did.

I arrived at the slave trader. It's a pretty big building, similar to a knight's jar. There's a gatekeeper, and as a treatment, I'd say a high-end slaver. The entrance is also beautiful and the interior is not strange to be said to be a top notch hotel.

Approaching reception in front. One of the two receptionists rushed off somewhere.

"Please call the store owner"

"Please wait a moment. I'm calling you now."

A few moments later a slightly fat man came running. Probably the store owner. I come as far as Ellincia as I get sweaty.

"Long time no see. How are you, sir?

"Yes, thanks to Master Elysia, we can live safely today."

It's a big deal.

"No, this is what I meant"

I keep interacting like that. Apparently, Elysia is the benefactor of the store owner's life. There seem to be two kinds of people in this city: people who are afraid of Elysia and people who worship Elysia.

Elysia had been talking to the store owner for a while. Included in that conversation was the fact that I was in charge.

"Jen, please take your time choosing as I have included you with the store owner. Now if you'll excuse me."

"Oh, thank God."

Eryncia leaving in a courtesy. Store owner to drop off with the most salute. I looked up after Erinsia was completely gone and approached this one.

"You're Jen, aren't you? Master Ellincia told me about you. Looking for a slave, my store has become my number one specialty. In contrast, Jen said that you would be an explorer, but for what purpose should I introduce you to slaves?

Even when I introduced you to Elysia, you said you were good at it. That said, you're here to find a magic slave. I'm not clamming beforehand, unlike before.

"You're a slave with the battle in perspective, too. That said, you don't have to consider education around it because it will be done here. Can you show me the girl all the way because it can take a while?

"Okay. Now that we have 39 girl slaves, let me show you 10 at a time."

That's what they say and take me to the other room. There doesn't seem to be room here to isolate dying or criminal slavery or anything. I guess I don't need it because I'm squeezing it for fun.

The girls who came out were about 5 to early teens, all dressed in tailored clothes and looking very neat. I guess I should wear it because my purpose is for fun.

She thanked me well when I was introduced. A child's slave doesn't sell that high. Store owners boasted that they were making them wear upbringing and other things to add value because they looked good but had limitations.

Exactly. There were no slaves as rare as Maria, Mio or Serra, but there were multiple slaves with seemingly rare skills. Including magical combat skills.

The slaves that bothered me on the way to watching were allowed to stay, and from what they all saw, 10 slaves remained. All I have to do is look for the slaves that were meant for me from here on out.

"Hmm, did you have 10 candidates? If you don't mind, we'll put them all together and sell them for 100,000 gold."

A shopkeeper who suddenly says a hell of a lot. 100,000 is probably cheap.

A: It's cheap. It would probably do at least 10 times that if it was a sale price.

Huh? What is this old man? You tried to sell your own product for 90% OFF?

"Isn't that too cheap? You got a reason?

"Of course, that's because it's an introduction by Master Elysia. If I could repay him, it would be so cheap."

Seems quite admirable. Definitely a deficit. That's not what I'm asking. I don't like having them do something until I strain them.

"Then it would be a deficit. At least make it profitable enough. I'm more distressed."

I admit to buying exactly 10 people myself. When this happens, let's throw all 10 round Lucea and take the most grown kid.

"Then I will be obliged to Master Elysia..."

"You're saying I'm good, so you're not gonna have a problem, are you? Whatever it is, I can tell Elysia that."

"... then it would be 600,000 gold. In that case, shouldn't we reduce it a bit? It's still 60,000 a person."

Luckily, there's a lot going on and I'm not having trouble with the money, and they won't complain because it's usual for me to buy slaves.

"I'm fine. That's 600,000, then. I'll pay you right away."

"Thank you every time......"

Say so and pay 600,000 gold. The shopkeeper looked a little reluctant but received it.

After calling a slave magician to finish the contract, he takes 10 slaves while the shopkeeper drops them off and heads to the carriage, which is stopped beside the inn.

The slave girls seemed well educated and didn't talk about anything extra after they were bought by me. We're in the carriage, and we're moving quickly to the base of Kastal on the 'portal'.

After we got to Castar's mansion, we assembled Lucea and the others to explain the future.

First, the newly entered slaves are given magic centric combat training. I admit the giveup, so if it doesn't seem possible, I'll have the maid trainer shift it. I informed him that I would take to the labyrinth the fittest of those who remained.

The newcomer slaves didn't seem to think they were bought for combat purposes and were quite surprised. Well, you'd be surprised to find out you've been educated as a favorite, but driven out into battle.

So I also taught you a little bit about my abilities. From what I've seen, this one was extra surprised.

I knew it was alien, but let the new slaves introduce themselves. He also introduced himself to the slaves he had bought in the first village of Estea, which he had put behind him.

By the way, I have finished introducing myself to the maids and deacons that Maria and Lucea bought in Castar. It was hard to remember them all. Well, we can canning as much as we want with maps and stats......

We talked about it quite a bit, and one of the things that surprised me most was that some of the slave girls who loved to play wanted to fight. You're the first candidate for a new member because you're highly qualified for magic skills.

"Bye Lucea, nice to meet you!

"Yes, leave it to me"

I left the rest to Lucea and decided to return to the city of Lilia.

There has also been a significant increase in maids in the base of Kastal. Of course, it's not like there's a problem with the living space because it's a big mansion. But I have a sense that I've just overincreased my slaves (maids) without weighing myself down. It's time to stop adding more slaves once and for all. Of course, not if you have skipping slaves like Maria, Mio, or Sera......
